PHP :: Drop Down Box Other

Drop Down Lists Changing Depending On Other Drop Downs
I want to have a drop down system like this one. But without the radio buttons.

I want to have 3 drop downs but have no idea how to go about it. I assume I will need to activate some sort of Javascript on the onChange event of the option drop downs.

Drop Down Box
I have a drop down box that I have coded to have several values. These values are actually snippets for SQL code. how do I make the drop down box display the selection picked by the user after the page is refreshed?

Drop-down X 5
I am trying to populate a drop-down from a database and repeat this drop-down five times. The first drop-down gets populated but the others don't. I tried to reset the array, but I am still new to PHP and not sure if I am doing correct. Code:

Drop Down Box
The purpose of this application: I need 2 combo boxes, one with months, and one with years. When the user chooses both a month and a year, a page is displayed with certain numbers that are retrieved from a database. Those numbers correspond to the specific month and year. For example, January 1998 produce "12", but February 2001 might display "73".

So I guess I'm asking 2 questions. The first is just a general outline of how someone might go about doing this (to see if i'm on the right track in my thinking). The second, and more important question is for someone to please explain to me how do I get the values chosen in the drop down boxes to correspond to specifc fields in a database?

i've got a drop down box that is populated by the results of a mysql querie but for some reason it only shows the first word. so if i have the results;

Drop Down Box
I have a couple of drop down boxes which you select the option you want, that value is then stored in the database. If you make a mistake there is an edit option which once clicked shows the form with the information filled in/selected.

However my problem is that when you edit, although the current option which was previously entered into the drop down box is set as the starting value, which is disabled, if you dont change the drop down box the value is deleted rather than held as it hasnt changed. Code:

One Drop Down Box Effecting Another.
I am trying to have one drop down box effected by another drop down box on one page only. I would like a user to select their state from a drop down box, then depending on what state they choose, I would like the list of cities from another drop down box to be displayed that are linked to that state in a mysql database. The purpose is to keep the list of cities to choose from small, they should not have to waid through a list which contains cities in other states.

PHP And Drop Down Menus
I've looked through the forum rather extensively and my qestion is similiar to the question by Brian_F and answer by "saintaw" a couple of days ago in this forum. I already have a functional page that has several dynamic drop-down menus from which the user selects a topic of interest.

My question is how to reference their choice from the drop down menus in order to display the results of their choice. I would like the user to be able to choose a subcategory with one of the drop down menus and then be able to view the questions related to that subcategory.

I currently have a nested for loop which displays the categories and subsequent drop-down menus for each category, and I'm using PHP and MySQL to do the dirty work. code:

Drop Downs
trying to get dropdowns to appear and getting no where! I have a script with a config file that has a list of options. I have added a list of ages like so:

$age[0]= 18;
$age[1]= 19;
$age[2]= 20;

I now want to include these in a page in a drop down menu and have tried this code :

$ageshow .= "<option>$age</option>";
echo "<tr bgcolor =$bg2>";
echo "<td class="classadd1"><div class="maininputleft">Age:</div></td>";
echo "<td class="classadd2"><select name="in[sfield]">";
echo "$ageshow</select> ";
echo "</td>";
echo "</tr>";

this does not list the ages but just has array in the drop down. What am I doing wrong?

I am coding an email form on a site. A user enters their name and contact email and then selects from a drop down list to which particular email the message should be sent: User1, User2, User3.

I have a whole contact form that is programmed in PHP, but I have never done a drop down menu with PHP, is this possible? If anyone knows of any great drop down menu tutorials in PHP.

It works when the user selects an option from both menus but always return ZERO records when only one of out the two menus have been set. My code POSTS the ID from each menu then puts that ID into the WHERE clause of an SQL query. Code:

Drop Down Select

Drop Down Box To A List Box
i have this drop down box that displays the relevant info from the table that its loading. But the drop down box isn't quite so wise to use if there hundreds of rows. So what i wanted to do was change it to a list box instead ... would any one know how to do that? Code:

Auto Drop Down Box
I need to create an auto drop down box. For example I already have a list of states that are pulled from the database. When the user selects a state, a drop down box below should populate with the cities from that state. (that's where I'm having trouble)

This is a search form so the results have to reflect what city and state they chose. (along with some other criteria)

I've searched all evening for instructions on how to do this and so far I've only seen javascript that you put directly in the code. If I have all 50 states along with their related cities that's an awful lot of code to put in the page.

Isn't there a way to automatically pull the cities from the database to populate the box when the user clicks a state? I have no idea where to start to make that work.

Drop Down Menu
I am using the following code to loop 12 months backwards from the current month in a drop down list - using the get method.

I'm having difficulties trying to get the option selected once I have submitted the form. For example, I am using this to filter months, so once a month has been selected and submitted, the first option in my drop down list is displayed and not the one that was selected and submitted. So basically, I need to be able to select a month > hit submit and when the form returns, have the drop down list show me the selected item. Code:

Drop Down Box Query
I am trying to do a drop drown box query where if you select a certain game type then the records in the database that have that game type are displayed in a table below. My drop boxs work fine, its the query to display the data that is troubling me. Here is my code:

Submitting Drop Down Value To DB

Here is my select code, but how do I submit to the db the value that the user selects out of the drop down? Code:

PreFilled Drop Down Box

Drop Down Box Editing
I have 3 linked drop down boxes ( Eg: Country, State and City ) . I've set values for the drop down boxes initially and I would like to edit the values later. Is it possible to show/highlighte the set values ( the value I've put earlier ) while editing the drop down boxes using PHP or AJAX.

Drop Down Link To .txt

Delete/drop Value From An Array

Dependent Drop Downs?
I have a drop down menu populated from a database. There are 3 other drop downs on the page that I want to populate from the database AFTER the user has made a selection in the first list. Can that be done? Are there any scripts for that anywhere?

PHP 4.3.4 Upgrade ... Need Help With Drop Downs
I upgraded from PHP 4.1.2 to 4.3.4 (Mac OS X 10.2.8), and then had to adjust all of my form scripts to retrieve the POST variables explicitly (because 4.3.4 requires this). I did this like the following:

<input type=text name=myinputbox>
<input type=submit name=submit value=submit>
-------
$myinputbox = $_POST[''myinputbox];
$submit = $_POST['submit'];

That works just fine, and the variable data is available for use elsewhere in the script. Radio buttons and textareas also work in this way.

However, my problem is that <SELECT> drop down menus apparently DO NOT work in this way. This renders my form useless without this ability. If you can post a reply code for retrieving the <SELECT> POST variable to the following code, I would appreciate it.

<SELECT name="MENU">
<option>option1</option>
<option>option2</option>
<option>option3</option>
</SELECT>

I assumed it would be this (but didn't work):
$MENU = $_POST['MENU'];

Hope I am clear with my explanation.

PHP + MYSQL, Populating Drop Down Box
I am looking to generate a dropdown box from MYSQL data:

db name = h2, table = Working, Column = Home.

Drop-in Replacement For Pdflib?
Anyone have a wraper written as a drop-in replacement for PDFlib? That
is, use their function names, parameters, pretty much identically?

I'm making some slight modifications to an open-source administrative
software package that requires PDFlib, and according to pdflib's
licensing agreement, administrative purposes for an educational
facility requires a $450 license.

I've evaluated phppdflib and it's great as a class to do basic PDF
features, but even the developers admit that it doesn't do everything
that PDFlib does.

So I figured I'd post it here to the other PHP experts out there to
see if anyone has already written a wrapper of some kind to use with
third-party software that requires PDFlib? I'd hate to reinvent the
wheel or spend time rewriting a few thousand lines of code to
accomodate this software.

Drop-down Of Database Problem
I'm trying to create a drop-down of the 'members' column of the 'roster' table. As you'll see it looks completly ****ed up and in no way works. PHP Code:

A Dynamic Drop Down List
I need to create a dynamic drop down list. By this i mean that the webpage html form = select style will recieve all the values as based on a query to a mysql database. I have no problems quering the data base with PHP, But i need to make some kind of for loop that will add a new value to the selct form for each result from the database. my thought process go like this.

1. call data base to guery. (no problem)

2. make variable variables that will be created according to the number of results (these variables must be created according to results of query, not a problem i think)

3. make a form like this

<form action = ***** method = post>
<select name = ******>
<option value = "This is a query result"> This is a query result> //This is the part i need to using a for loop and variable variables
</select></form>

so my problem is part 3, cause is this all done in PHP, or if i had all these variables, can i do this in HTML? Can i make a for loop in PHP that would break into HTML during these parts?
